<a name="noncomm" id="noncomm"></a>MIT Interpretation of  "Non-commercial"</h2> <p><em>Non-commercial use</em> means that users may not sell, profit  from, or commercialize OCW materials or works derived from them. The  guidelines below are intended to help users determine whether or not  their use of OCW materials would be permitted by MIT under the  "non-commercial" restriction. Note that there are additional  requirements (attribution and share alike) spelled out in our <a href="#cc">license</a>.</p> <ol>     <li>
<strong>Commercialization is prohibited.</strong> Users may <em>not</em>  directly sell or profit from OCW materials or from works derived from  OCW materials.<br>     <br>     Example: A commercial education or training business may not offer  courses based on OCW materials if students pay a fee for those courses  and the business intends to profit as a result.</li>     <li>
<strong>Determination of commercial vs. non-commercial purpose is  based on the use, <em>not</em> the user.</strong> Materials may be used  by individuals, institutions, governments, corporations, or other  business whether for-profit or non-profit so long as the use itself is  not a commercialization of the materials or a use that is directly  intended to generate sales or profit.<br>     <br>     Example: A corporation may use OCW materials for internal professional  development and training purposes.</li>     <li>
<strong>Incidental charges to recover reasonable reproduction costs  may be permitted.</strong> Recovery of nominal actual costs for copying  small amounts (under 1000 copies) of OCW content on paper or CDs is  allowed for educational purposes so long as there is no profit motive  and so long as the intended use of the copies is in compliance with all  license terms. Students must be informed that the materials are freely  available on the OCW Web site and that their purchase of copied  materials is optional.<br>     <br>     Example: An institution in a remote area has limited Internet access and  limited network infrastructure on campus, and a professor offers to  create CDs of OCW materials relevant to her course. The professor may  recover the costs of creating the CDs.</li> </ol> <p>If you have questions about acceptable use of OCW materials, please  contact us.</p> <p> </p> <div class="course_list">^ <a class="top" href="#top">Back to  top</a>
